The Universal Web

There is a web woven between all the people and events in our lives. Neither Fatalist nor Free Will views satisfyingly explain the apparent coincidental nature of the universe.  Similarly, Determinism is a philosophical view that events are determined completely by precipitating causes.  It is the ultimate application of cause and effect.  While likely mostlyContinue reading “The Universal Web”

Bringing My Characters to Life

I love words. To me, words are x-ray images allowing me to peek beneath the surface of the world. They help me perceive beyond the superficial to the soul of the world and the quantum-like web that connect everyone and everything (I have a whole theory about the Universal Web that I’ll post in theContinue reading “Bringing My Characters to Life”

A Lament for the Greatness of Heroes

Western society has killed too many of its heroes. I remember a time, not so long ago, when we aspired to (and were inspired by) greatness.

I guess I should begin by admitting (despite my predisposition towards misanthropy) that I’ve been quite lucky in love.  I’ve been blessedContinue reading “Musings on Love”

Cross-Genre’d

As you some of you already know, I’m currently working on the revision of my second novel in the Reflections of Shadow series. Progress has been incremental, but satisfying, nonetheless; and I’ve been having a lot of fun moving the story arc through a new, and really interesting, world.  TEASER ALERT: You’ll get to exploreContinue reading “Cross-Genre’d”

Blogger’s Block

It’s so strange.  When I’m writing fiction, I’m rarely, if ever, afflicted by writer’s block. Words usually flow effortlessly, as if merely waiting for my fingers to touch the keyboard.  But, sit me in front of a blog post page, and it’s like my brain suddenly goes dead… So, what’s the deal, lately? Is it that I haveContinue reading “Blogger’s Block”
